PHILIPPINE MONEY SECURITY FEATURES

1.Embossed prints:
The embossed or raised print nature of the ink deposition combined with the quality of cotton-based paper gives
the traditional banknote a unique tactile effect that makes it the first and the most important line of defense
against counterfeiting. This can be felt over the words “REPUBLIKA NG PILIPINAS,” denominational value in text,
signatures, and value panels particularly, the one located at the lower right corner of the obverse.
2. Asymmetric Serial Number :
Alphanumeric characters at the lower left and upper right corners of the note bearing one or two prefix letters
and six to seven digits, with font increasing in size and thickness.
3. Security Fibers:
Visible red and blue fibers embedded on the paper and randomly scattered on the face and back of the note.
4. Watermark:
Shadow image of the portrait with the highlighted denominational value that is particularly seen against the light
from either side of the blank space on the note.
5. See-Through Mark:
The pre-Hispanic script (Baybayin) at the lower right corner of the face of the note slightly above the value
panel. This is seen in complete form only when the note is viewed against the light. This script means “PILIPINO.”
6. Concealed Value:
The denominational value super imposed at the smaller version portrait at the upper left portion of the note.
This becomes clearly visible when the note is rotated 45 degrees and slightly tilted.
7. Security Thread (Embedded or Windowed):
Embedded thread that runs vertically across the width of 20- and 50- piso notes when viewed against the light.
Also, the stitch-like metallic thread on the 100-, 200-, 500- and 1000-piso notes which changes color from red to
green and bears the cleartext of “BSP” and the denominational value on the obverse and “BSP” on the reverse,
both in repeated series.
8. Optically Variable Device (OVD) Patch:
Found only in 500- and 1000-piso notes, this patch is a reflective foil, bearing the image of the Blue-naped parrot
for 500-piso/clam with South Sea pearl for 1000-piso, changes color from red to green when the note is rotated
90 degrees.
9. Optically Variable Ink (OVI):
Found only in the 1000-piso note, this embossed denominational value at the lower right corner of the face of
the note changes color from green to blue when viewed at different angles
